These are different elections: in September, municipal and provincial positions were elected with party ballots; in October, national deputies with the Single Paper Ballot. Even with these caveats, in most districts PJ received fewer absolute votes, while LLA grew almost across the board.
The most severe losses for PJ occurred in Avellaneda (-33.6 thousand), Esteban Echeverría (-33.3 thousand), Lomas de Zamora (-32.5 thousand), Berazategui (-33 thousand), and Pilar (-30.8 thousand). Despite this, in several of these districts Peronism retained victory due to the territorial inertia of its mayorships. There were exceptions where PJ gained a few votes, but in all of them LLA grew more and narrowed the gap.
On the other hand, the libertarian surge was overwhelming in Mar del Plata (+45.6 thousand), La Plata (+29.7 thousand), La Matanza (+28.5 thousand), Lomas de Zamora (+23.8 thousand), Quilmes (+22.3 thousand), Pilar (+25.8 thousand), Berazategui (+22.8 thousand), Malvinas Argentinas (+23.6 thousand), Tigre (+32.8 thousand), and San Isidro (+22.5 thousand), among others. In aggregate terms, LLA went from almost 1,930,000 to 2,400,000 votes in these 26 municipalities.
